We are organizing the 6th CBC finance network meeting to continue exchange activities among finance staff of the Interreg cross-border family (including NEXT programmes), The event is designed to create a space to exchange on various finance-related issues, relevant for all cross-border programmes. Participants will gain an understanding and overview of approaches applied by different programmes when tackling financial issues; they will share ideas and work together towards solutions to common challenges.
The agenda provides an indicative overview of topics that could be of interest for finance offices from Interreg programmes. As always, the list of topics is not exhaustive and during the registration we will collect topics that are of interest for you and integrate them in the agenda (depending on the interest and time availability). Thus, the agenda items remain subject to adjustment, in line with the information collected during the registration.
